Prof. Kitrosser Quoted in Reuters Story on Trump Non-Disclosure Agreements

Professor Kitrosser was quoted in an article about the constitutionality of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that the Trump White House reportedly required staffers to sign. Kitrosser is quoted as explaining that the NDAs, if as broad as reported, seem “clearly unconstitutional under the First Amendment.” The article also cites her explanations to the effect that the NDAs reportedly extend much further than the pre-publication clearance requirements that courts have upheld with respect to classified information, and that the White House’s broad power to fire employees does not translate to a right to prevent former employees from publishing memoirs.
